Hi! Does anyone know any roadmaps for board plating materials. Especially I'm interested in finishes, which are plated onto copper. Teemu M�kiniemi

I opened a two product boxes which are similar and have PCBs. The PCB in one box is gold plated. Can anyone explain why it needs gold plating? Thanks in advance

Hi Dave, Immersion Ag has poor surface appearances after reflow or rather tarnished, while Immersion Tin requries higher temp. Probably that's why Immersion Ag is more preferred.

Zinc from the brass [Cu3Zn2] diffuses into the tin causing solderability problems. Just 0.001% of Zn in your solder can render it fit for the scrap heap. So, you need a barrier plate between the brass and the tin. Copper or nickel-plating is commonl

Hello, I am looking for some advice please about how to go about plating some brass pins for a new assembly. (which will be hand soldered) I have spoken to a couple of "experts" who seem to contradict themselves.. Firstly what should I be solderin

Assuming you are talking about solderable surfaces: People specify various materials to protect the solderability of the pads on the board. Gold, actually, Electroless Nickel - Immersion Gold [ENIG], is popular. * Board fabricators like it because

We are having solder fillet finish issue. The solder looks like rough solder on the connector leads .The plating of the leads is Nickel (99.9% purity) and the PCB plating is imersion gold. I have tried fine tuning my reflow profiles an have used N2 i

Questions are: * What is the current plating on the connector that is over the "plating of the leads is Nickel (99.9% purity)"? * What are the temperatures and durations at those temperatures that you read on these connector leads? * What solder allo

Hi guys.. I just want to know on what are common types of terminal plating on chip capasitor and does each plating will affect reflow profile? Thank..

Hi ya'll!! We've got some PCB's in receiving inspection that has these little nodules in plating inside all of the barrels. These are microwave PCB's and have almost all of the surface area on both sides covered with with solid metal planes, and no
